5-inch Schedule 40 Steel Pipe Bollard
Light Duty Bollard
5-inch Schedule 40 Steel Pipe Bollards can be used for lighter-duty bollard applications. It is sometimes used as an “economy” version of the common 6-inch Schedule 40.
Smaller pipe sizes like this should only serve to:
- delineate or demarcate areas
- deter mobile machine operators, vehicles or pedestrians
- to protect signs by embedding sign posts in bollard
- to act as stanchions that hold chains to divide areas
5 inch Schedule 40 is a Lighter Duty Bollard
The 5-inch SCH40 is sometimes used in less critical applications where the safety of people is not the concern. While the 6-inch SCH40 pipe has stood the test of time in stopping vehicles at lower speeds, the 5-inch has not really been show to do that. These should be considered light duty bollards that may protect property, but not people.
The BOSS says…
5-inch SCH40 pipes probably won’t stop Mikey Bubble’s Crown Vic, but it might stop him from thinkin’ he can smash-and-grab Vinnie’s Pie Shop. And they can protect the corners of buildings from gettin’ grazed by box trucks.
